LeBron James declares he would rather die than be single without his wife Savannah in candid interview on her podcast in the United States

LeBron James isn’t shy about showing just how serious he is about his marriage.

In a candid chat on his wife Savannah’s podcast, Everybody’s Crazy, the NBA superstar revealed that the thought of being single without her is unthinkable.

The 40-year-old Lakers legend, who has been with Savannah for more than 20 years, emphasized that their bond is something he would fight tooth and nail to protect.

A Love Story That Started in High School

LeBron and Savannah first met back in 2002 while still in high school, and their connection has only strengthened over the decades.

Together, they’ve raised three children, including Bronny, who now plays alongside his father’s legacy at the Lakers.

Reflecting on their long journey together, James made it clear that his relationship with Savannah isn’t just important—it’s life-defining.

The Price of Loyalty

“Relationships are hard as hell,” James admitted on the podcast, noting that he’s seen plenty of teammates fall victim to toxic dynamics in their personal lives.

“But I know I don’t want to be alone, that’s for damn sure. If I gotta fight, crawl, scratch, bite—whatever it takes to keep mine, I gotta keep it.”

LeBron, an only child raised by his mother Gloria in Akron, Ohio, explained that his upbringing shaped his fierce loyalty.

“Next time I’m alone, I’ll be underneath [death],” he said.

His words underline just how deeply he values the family he’s built with Savannah.

Childhood Lessons Shaping Love

James also shared glimpses of his early life, talking about how sports introduced him to his first circle of friends at seven or eight years old.

“We started traveling, playing sports, and I thought, ‘Oh, this is amazing,’” he recalled. But meeting Savannah took things to a whole new level.

“Then I got with Vannah, and I was like, ‘This is crazy. I love this… Nah, forget being alone.’”

Lessons From the Locker Room

Beyond personal reflections, James discussed some of the cautionary tales he’s heard from NBA teammates about relationships gone wrong.

“I sit in the locker room, and there are a lot of women out here flipping the script,” he said.

“Some homies are trying to be good and figure it out, and then they look in the mirror saying, ‘Damn, what did I do wrong?’”

LeBron’s advice is simple: “Homies, it ain’t you. If it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be.”

For him, that certainty has guided both his career and his personal life.
